So I had to write some Iambic Pentameter for Creative Writing, and I thought Thief would be an interesting thing to write about.
Master Thief
Deftly through the darkness blackjack the guard.
Hide his body in the alley quickly.
Duck out of sight, a patrol comes near, be still.
He’s passed. Creep up and pick the lock, almost…
Inside at last, press up against the wall.
Across the room it lays, gemmed scepter.
A troublesome guard blocks the way inside.
Pull out your trusty tool, your last flash bomb.
Blinded, he can’t see you slip behind him.
Hurry! Before he can see, grab the staff!
The alarm has been sounded. Quick, get out!
Race through the gate and hide in the shadow.
After the guards pass, sneak to your buyer.
He isn’t there! He has been taken, no!
To get paid, you must break him out of jail.
When can a master thief get a good break?
Write some thiefy poetry!

Cool.:D
Yes, I agree. (About it being interesting to write about)

I like it! I wish Thief had been around when I was in writing class. I'm sure I would have written many Thief themed pieces.

I like it, it's very well done. This line is not in iambic pentameter though:

One too many syllables. Changing "patrol" to "guard" or something like that would work. But it is great. You've done a good job here.

Dang. I'll have to fix that. Thanks Tannar, I dunno how I missed it.
We're still going over the different forms. Maybe I'll do Pyrrhic Octometer next.
when hell freezes over...
